Recorded monuments

• DU011-083 Building
  Description

  Located within an open field of tillage. An extensive cobbled surface and foundations of walls with associated finds of Leinster Cooking Ware and glazed medieval pottery were exposed during the construction of a gas pipeline in 1988. These were located on low-lying ground W of Saucerstown House and S of the Broadmeadow River (Halpin, E.1988, 17-18).

• DU011-138 Enclosure
  Description

  An irregular shaped enclosure visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph together with other features that could indicate a possible field system (DU011-139----) (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Site of relatively low lying ground towards base of north facing slope adjacent Broadmeadow river. No visible remains at ground level.

• DU011-139 Field system
  Description

  A possible field system visible as a crop mark on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13, possibly associated with an irregular shaped enclosure (DU011-138----) located in the same field (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Site on relatively low lying ground towards base of north facing slope adjacent Broadmeadow river. No visible remains at ground level.

• DU011-140 Enclosure
  Description

  A large irregular-shaped curvilinear enclosure visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Relatively high point on north facing slope. No visible remains at ground level. Compiled by: David O’Connor Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 09 January 2015

• DU011-143 Burial
  Description

  Human remains were identified at a depth of c. 0.7m within a 1m-wide service trench which was excavated on the north side of the road, and they extended over a 7m length on both sides of the trench (Licence no. 08E0512). The section revealed at least two east–west orientated extended articulated human burials in graves which were lined at the top and sides with slate slabs. A charnel pit lined (base, top and sides) with slate containing disarticulated human remains was also identified, as well as a separate feature, possibly a pit or small ditch, containing animal bone and shell. The human remains appear to be part of a cemetery of possible early medieval date. It is notable that the remains were situated at the summit of a low rise with views in all directions over the surrounding landscape. It is extremely likely that further remains will be present below the existing road, and perhaps to either side of the road (Giacometti 2008).
